I cannot fault the reconstruction of Liverpool
Street Station. Would that our architects had taken the same care

It was a stroke of genius to remove the step-free direct access
from the street to the platforms which made it easy to get
bicycles on and off trains and replace it with steps up and
escalators or steps down!


Surely there still is step-free access from platforms to street
level [Eldon Street]?


Via a very roundabout pedestrian-only route through a shopping arcade,
AIUI. Especially if approaching from Bank, for example.
